Why Do I Keep Growing Back Bone After 2 Rhinoplasties?

August 10, 2012
Asked By:Shawn in California in Covina, CA

I had primary surgery one year ago, dorsal hump was removed followed by an osteotomy. 6 months later I had a minor revision which involved only rasping down hump (side walls of nose also moved back from first osteotomy, this was never corrected during revision). Now again 6 months after the revision the hump has reappeared. Why does this keep happening to me? Never seen this in other rhinoplasties. Surgeon confirmed excess calcium/bone growth from surgeries. Can I prevent this or correct this?
